Prof. ". J. johnson was on the |
street Wednesday receiving the most |
hearty congratulations of his many
friends and admirers, on his over
whelming vindication and victory.
and the able manner in which he
presided over the largest and most
enthusiastic meeting of colored citi-
zens ever held in Shawnee county.
While the Prof, feels very proud
over the result and very grateful to
his friends for their manifestation of
devotion and high appreciation, he &C
cepts it all in a very modest way and
warns his friends against the mistakes
made by our people in the past, and
in almost every community of
making popular idol of one individ
ual. He says most emphatically
that while it is his greatest desire to
deserve and receive the highest ap-
probation of the people, he wishes, in
no sense, to be considered as their
leader, pet or idol; that he is back in
the ranks to help push forward some
other man and then another and so
on until we shall have so many we'll
equipped and we'll qualified men
among US that We can reach out in
any direction in our midst and find
man who can lead us to the success
full accomplishment of any and all
good undertakings. He says truly,
that our people spoil often their best
men and render them unfit for any
useful purpose by pampering them
into the belief that their services as
leaders are indispensable. This, he
says, is great wrong as we'll as a
great injury to the interests of the
community and the very greatest in
jury to the individual so pampered,
for it makes him wise and great in
his own estimation and he who be-
comes wise in his own eyes becomes
fool in the eyes of intelligent and
thinking people. Mr.. johnson says
that The colored people, Of Topeka,
are not, to-day in need Of leaders in
the sense the term is generally used
here. But what they do need is
united effort and united sentiment,
and due appreciation of how much
courtesy, respect and Difference is
due than of prominence, who may be
or come among us. We need to
know that general intelligence, gen
eral greatness and the general
elevation of our people and not as a
people the selected few is the one
thing needful. He is also heartily
and enthusiastically in favor ofpush-
ing our young men to the front
whenever and wherever an oppor'
tunity offers to show or improve then
talent. We certainly hope that oul
readers will give these sentiments
their serious consideration for We
feel that there is much in them which
if followed will tend toward making
US united and prosperous people.

In golden sunlight BY garden wall,
An, lad, wee lad, none loved sac true.
In all the world ~ I love you'll
Ny dear wee lad, my own dear lad,

Ere the spirit Of Elfand fell asleepf
May never learn the mystic spell,
But be content to love thee well,
Knowing none ere loved see true,

But, my lad. my wee BIT Lad.

That blight the violet. blast the rose,
Abiding midst, like sweet sunshine,
Golden on the garden wall.

This Is the love. my bonnie lad,
My wee bit Lad, I bear for you,
And none In life ere loved sac truei

Since its-under the circumstances
overwhelming defeat at the polls near
~ three years ago. the Republican
party has been trying to convince itself
and the outside world that that defeat
was the result of an accident or acci-
dents, and as a consequence the merest
incidents, unimportant either in them
selves or their relations. have been
marshaled together and parsded as the
causes Of the party's disastrous defeat.
In this way Brother Burchard's un-
fortunate ALTERATION on the eve Of the
battle in New York has been made to
do duty a. one Of the principal causes
Of Blaine's defeat There are other i'm
cidents equally a. trifiing that have
been used in the same way and for the
same purpose. The closeness Of the
vote in certain localities like New York
and New Jersey makes this theory
seem plausible, and yet never was there
. theory so unfounded.

beginning shows that the sentiment of
its people, when in q normal condition,
